Australian beef producer Jack’s Creek has been crowned the world’s best Wagyu producer for a third consecutive year at the 2026 World Steak Challenge in Amsterdam.
The family-owned company claimed World’s Best Wagyu Steak for its Purebred Wagyu Sirloin, continuing its run of international success.
Jack’s Creek also collected five gold medals in the Wagyu category, as well as another five gold, three silver and four bronze medals across the fillet, ribeye and sirloin classes.
Jack’s Creek UK and EU Head of Sales Kaine Allan said the latest win was recognition of the work behind every product.
“Being named the world’s best Wagyu for the third time in a row is an incredible honour,” Allan said.
“The hard work of our team and partners is reflected in every steak we enter – this win cements our position as one of the finest Wagyu producers worldwide.”
The World Steak Challenge was held at Amsterdam’s Hotel Arena, with entries judged on marbling, tenderness, flavour and consistency.
The award-winning steak has strong links to regional NSW, coming from a Purebred Wagyu steer bred at the Warmoll family’s Big Jack’s Creek farm at Willow Tree.
It was then backgrounded at Urubula at Breeza before being finished at Lemontree Feedlot in Queensland and processed at Casino Food Company in northern NSW.
Jack’s Creek Managing Director Patrick Warmoll said the result continued a family beef-producing legacy stretching back more than three decades.
“Our family’s beef and cattle journey began with Black Angus in the 1980s and evolved with Tajima Wagyu in the 1990s. To see that legacy delivering the world’s best wagyu again is incredibly rewarding,” Warmoll said.
Jack’s Creek now exports its grain-fed Wagyu, Wagyu Cross and Black Angus beef to more than 30 countries.
“From paddock to plate, we never compromise on quality,” Warmoll added.
